Definitions
- the present invention relates to a slot machine in which occurrence of a winning is judged in accordance with a combination of symbols stopping at a winning line.
- a slot machine has a plurality of reels or a CRT.
- the reel is rotatable and is provided with symbols arranged on a peripheral surface thereof.
- the CRT displays the symbols on the basis of graphic data stored in ROM.
- the symbol displayed in the CRT is moved so as to simulate the rotation of the reel.
- the reels are rotated together by an operation of a start button or a start lever after inserting a coin, a token and so forth (hereinafter, coin).
- the reel is stopped by an operation of a stop button provided for each reel or after a predetermined time has passed.
- occurrence and kind of winning is determined in accordance with a combination of the symbols stopping at a predetermined winning line.
- coins, number of which is predetermined are paid out according to the kind of the winning.
- winning there are various kinds of winning. For example, there is a winning such that the coins, number of which is from five to fifteen, are paid out when the prescribed symbols of two or three kinds are displayed at the winning line. Besides that, there are a jackpot winning, a bonus game winning and so forth. As to the jackpot winning, a great deal of dividend is obtained when the specific symbol combination, for example, "7-7-7" is displayed along the winning line. Regarding the bonus game winning, a bonus game is given. In the bonus game, winnings occur frequently at high probability in comparison with the normal game. In such slot machine, it becomes a great pleasure for a player whether various winnings are obtained or not.
- Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 60-185579 discloses a slot machine in which a winning chance is obtained again by re-rotating the reel after it has stopped once.
- Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 7-275432 discloses a slot machine having a first reel group for normal game and a second reel group for bonus game.
- the second reel group is used only when the specific symbols of the first reel group are arranged along the winning line, namely, the bonus game is obtained.
- Such slot machine has various game modes in the bonus game.
- one set of the reels is used to decide whether the chance for re-rotating the reel is given or not, besides determining whether the winning occurs or not. Accordingly, even if winning chance according to the re-rotation of the reel is taken, a feeling that the game is extended is merely given to the player. Particularly, great expectation and interest for the winning are not given to the player.
- the slot machine employing the second reel group used only for the bonus game besides the reel for the normal game freshness is given for the bonus game.
- this slot machine is not different from a conventional one. Further, winning probability of the bonus game is set at low so that most of the players might lose the interest before playing the bonus game utilizing the second reel group.
- the slot machine comprises a first reel group and a second reel group.
- the first reel group is constituted of a plurality of main reels. By operating a start lever, the main reels are rotated. After that, when these reels have stopped, a winning is judged on the basis of a symbol combination stopping along a predetermined winning line.
- the second reel group is constituted of at least one auxiliary reel having a re-rotation symbol arranged on a peripheral surface thereof. If the re-rotation symbol stops at a predetermined position, at least one of the main reels is re-rotated.
- the auxiliary reel is provided for each main reel so as to correspond to each other one by one. After all the main reels have stopped, any of these reels is re-rotated and stopped if the corresponding auxiliary reel stops the re-rotation symbol at the predetermined position. Thus, the symbol combination of the main reels displayed at the predetermined winning line is changed in accordance with a stop state of the auxiliary reel.
- the re-rotation symbol includes an arrow pointing the rotational direction, namely an upward direction or a downward direction. Further, a numeral representing the rotational amount is also included in the re-rotation symbol.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a slot machine according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic representation showing an electrical structure of the slot machine
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a basic process of the slot machine
- FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an example of reel stopping mode of the slot machine
- FIG. 5 is a plan view showing another embodiment of reel arrangement
- FIG. 6 is a plan view showing other embodiment of the reel arrangement.
- FIG. 7 is a plan view showing another embodiment of symbols of a second reel group.
- FIG. 1 showing an appearance of a slot machine 1 according to the present invention
- a front panel is provided with symbol displaying windows 2 and 3 arranged in up-and-down direction.
- Three main reels 5a, 5b and 5c are provided behind the symbol displaying window 2.
- the main reels 5a, 5b, and 5c are rotatable around rotational shafts respectively.
- the shafts are coaxially disposed in horizontal direction.
- Plural kinds of symbols are arrange on a peripheral surface of each main reel.
- the number of the symbols arranged on the main reel is about twenty.
- the main reels 5a, 5b and 5c constitute a first reel group for judging whether the winning occurs or not.
- auxiliary reels 6a, 6b, and 6c are provided behind the symbol displaying window 3. These auxiliary reels 6a, 6b and 6c have smaller diameter than that of the main reel 5a, 5b and 5c constituting the first reel group. About eight symbols are arranged on a peripheral surface of the auxiliary reel. Each of the auxiliary reels 6a to 6c corresponds to each of the main reels 5a to 5c respectively.
- the auxiliary reels 6a to 6c constitute a second reel group for determining whether the main reel is re-rotated or not.
- the auxiliary reels of the second reel group are rotated together with the main reels of the first reel group by operating game starting means. However, stop timing of the auxiliary reels is set so as to delay for a few seconds after all of the main reels have stopped.
- the symbols used for the main reel of the first reel group include valid symbols and blank symbols.
- the valid symbol is, for example, "7" and "BAR" as shown in FIG. 1.
- the blank symbol is disposed between the valid symbols one by one. From the symbol displaying window 2, five symbols including the blank symbol are visible relative to the main reel.
- the winning is determined as a combination of the three valid symbols. Accordingly, if at least one blank symbol stops at the winning line 40 when all symbols of the first reel group have stopped, the game becomes failed state. But, as described later in detail, the blank symbol provided on the main reel of the first reel group is used as a specific symbol which means that the main reel is capable of re-rotating. Further, when the blank symbol stops at the winning line 40 relative to any of the reels 5a, 5b, and 5c of the first reel group, the reel re-rotates by an amount corresponding to one symbol in accordance with the stop position of the auxiliary reels 6a to 6c. Of course, instead of the blank symbol, other symbol being different from the valid symbol may be used as the specific symbol.
- the symbols used for the auxiliary reel of the second reel group include re-rotation symbols of two kinds and blank symbols.
- re-rotation symbol a character of "UP” or “DOWN” and an arrow pointing upward or downward are combined.
- the blank symbol is arranged between the re-rotation symbols one by one. From the symbol displaying window 3, three symbols including the blank symbol are visible relative to the auxiliary reel.
- the corresponding main reel 5a, 5b or 5c positioned right under the reel 6a, 6b or 6c is rotated in order direction or in reverse direction by the amount corresponding to one symbol on condition that the blank symbol stops at the winning line 40.
- the re-rotation symbol arranged on the auxiliary reel of the second reel group may also indicate a number of symbols as a indication representing a rotational amount of the re-rotation. At this time, it is possible to give a variation to the re-rotational amount of the main reel. If the re-rotational amount is set so as to correspond to symbols of odd number such as three symbols or five symbols, the valid symbol is adapted to stop at the winning line 40.
- a tower lamp 8 provided on an upper portion of the slot machine 1 is constituted of chambers, each of which is made of translucent resin and has different luminous color. Further, in each of the chambers, a lamp is built. When the winning is obtained as a consequence of a game, the tower lamp 8 indicates that.

- the MPU 25 refers to data stored in a winning judging section 31 and a re-rotation judging section 33 during a game. Moreover, the MPU 25 outputs a drive signal to a coin payout unit 32 and a big-hit driving section 34.
- the winning judging section 31 stores symbol combination data relative to a big hit and a small hit. Further, the winning judging section 31 stores a number of the dividend coins.
- the winning judging section 31 is referred by the MPU 25 during a winning judgement process.
- the re-rotation judging section 33 is used for judging whether a re-rotation process is performed or not after all reels of the first reel group and the second reel group have stopped.
- the re-rotation judging section 33 stores a number of drive pulses in the case that the blank symbol of the reels 5a to 5c stops at the winning line 40.
- the re-rotation judging section 33 also stores a number of drive pulses in the case that the re-rotation symbol of the reels 6a to 6c stops at the judging line 41.
- the MPU 25 checks whether the blank symbol stops at the winning line 40 or not relative to each of reels 5a to 5c on the basis of the count values of the counters 18a to 18c. Further, the MPU 25 checks whether the re-rotation symbol stops at the judging line 41 or not relative to each of the reels 6a to 6c on the basis of the count values of the counters 19a to 19c.
- the coin payout unit 32 is driven to pay out the coins to the tray 13 in accordance with the kind of the winning when the winning is obtained as consequence of the game.
- the big-hit driving section 34 is driven when the big-hit winning occurs.
- the big-hit driving section 34 drives the stepping motors 15a, 15b and 15c to rotate the reels 5a, 5b and 5c mincingly in an order direction and a reverse direction repeatedly. In such a way, an appeal of the big-hit is made to the player.
- the game is started by operating the start lever 9 after the coin was put into the coin inlet 7.
- the start lever 9 When the start lever 9 is operated, the reels 5a to 5c of the first reel group and the reels 6a to 6c of the second reel group are rotated together.
- supply of the drive pulse is stopped for the stepping motors, each of which drives the corresponding reel, at different timing so that each of the reels 5a to 5c of the first reel group stops automatically.
- each of the reels 6a to 6c of the second reel group stops automatically.
- the winning judgement process is carried out.
- the count values of the counters 18a to 18c are read out by the MPU 25 as described above.
- the winning data stored in the winning judging section 31 is referred to judge the occurrence and the kind of the winning.
- the winning judgement in case of the winning, coins of the number according to the kind of the winning are paid out and the game is over.
- each of the reels 5a to 5c of the first reel group stops the same valid symbol at the winning line 40, namely, three valid symbols being the same are arranged at the winning line 40, the winning is obtained. For example, if three symbols of "7" are arranged at the winning line 40, one hundred coins are paid out. If three symbols of "BAR" are arranged, thirty coins are obtained. Incidentally, the pay-out number of coins may be properly determined.
- the re-rotation judgement process is carried out in such a way that the MPU 25 reads out the count values of the counters 19a to 19c of the reels 6a to 6c and refers to the data stored in the re-rotation judging section 33.
- the re-rotation judgement process when a condition of the re-rotation is not satisfied, the game is over.
- the MPU 25 drives the stepping motor of the corresponding reel among the reels 5a to 5c of the first reel group if the corresponding reel stops the blank symbol at the winning line 40.
- the corresponding reel of the first reel group is positioned right under the reel of the second reel group.
- the MPU 25 supplies the drive pulses by the amount of one symbol to the driver which drives the corresponding reel of the first reel group. Accordingly, the corresponding reel is rotated by one symbol in a direction shown by the re-rotation symbol. Thus, the symbol combination displayed by the reels 5a to 5c of the first reel group is changed.
- the reel 6c of the second reel group also stops in a state that the re-rotation symbol is displayed. However, the reel 5c does not display the blank symbol at the winning line 40 so that the reel 5c is not re-rotated. If the reel 5c stops in a state that one symbol is shifted in the upward direction from the state shown in FIG. 4, the reel 5c is re-rotated by one symbol in a downward direction due to the re-rotation symbol of the reel 6c. Thus, the winning of "7-7-7" is similarly obtained.
- the big-hit driving section 34 drives the reels 5a to 5c of the first reel group so as to rotate them mincingly in the order direction and the reverse direction repeatedly.
- the lamp contained in the tower lamp 8 vividly blinks so that the big-hit winning is notified to not only the player of the slot machine displaying the big-hit winning but also the surrounding player.
